A BATTLE FROZEN IN TIME | 1813–2026

After countless hours in the studio, my latest work is finally complete.

Inspired by the historic 1813 naval battle between the French Aréthuse and British HMS Amelia, this piece is an amalgamation of interpretations by nineteenth-century marine painters, including Thomas Whitcombe, Louis-Philippe Crépin, and John Christian Schetky.

More than 200 years later, I wanted to reinterpret their dramatic visions through my own artistic language.

The ships were constructed using hundreds of ceramic fragments, each individually cut and hand-painted on the reverse side of the tile.

The atmospheric background was created using hundreds of pieces of fabric, individually cut, torn, and hand-painted to capture the smoke, fire, and chaos of battle.

Even the frame is a mosaic, handmade from sections of different frames.

2 metres tall × 1.5 metres wide.

Hundreds of fragments. Countless hours. Two centuries of artistic inspiration.

One battle. Many artists. A new perspective.

The older I get, the more deeply proud I feel to be Thai.

Yolwaree means “to gaze upon the water.” The identity of the house is shaped by the fluid lines of water, intertwined with the quiet grace of Thai culture.

My dream for Yolwaree is to share the beauty of our heritage with the world, and to celebrate the artistry and exceptional craftsmanship for which Thai jewellery has long been known.

Seeing both Thai friends and friends from around the world come together for our first presentation meant more to me than I can express. Thank you for believing in @yolwareeofficial and supporting the story I hope to carry forward 🤍

Proud to be Canadian. 🇨🇦

Creating this mosaic World Cup ball has been my way of celebrating a tournament that's brought the world together—and it's been incredible to see FIFA bring this moment to Vancouver.

Here's to football, art, and the unforgettable energy of the beautiful game.

There are people who change the game… and then there’s Wayne Gretzky.

I wanted to honour The Great One in my own language — broken ceramic, diamonds of colour, shattered pieces rebuilt into something stronger.
A reminder that greatness isn’t smooth… it’s earned, piece by piece.

Here’s my mosaic Gretzky jersey — every shard placed by hand, with respect for the legend that changed hockey forever.
99 forever. 🏒🔥
